I put all the Visual Studio 2012 version in this single page. Amazon is the biggest book store over the internet and one of the largest electronic commerce in the world. For good price and best delivery for any country in the world, buy from Amazon.

Even if the newer version version is more interesting because it is "specialy" designed for Windows 8, you might consider Visual Basic 2010. The older version might be cheaper.

.NET Framework

Visual Basic now uses .NET Framework. With Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft decided to implant a strategy between Visual Basic and C# and bring both language in the same software. Visual Basic compiler has also improved.
